Political, but well worth reading

[Skinhead]

I received the following in an email.  I must admit, I agree 100% with the author.  I don't post it here to change anyone's mind about the POTUS, as I'm sure most have already made theirs up.  I won't entertain arguments about it, but I am interested in comments.

I don't post this because of his race, as that is not an issue with me, nor do I believe it to be an issue with most of the members of this board.  I post it because I think it accurately describes what is happening to our country and why.

  No one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, could have described this President more
accurately. It is a one page biography that articulates the man, his
life and his goals perfectly!

The Architect of Destruction

     

By Maureen Scott

Barack Obama appears to be a tormented man filled with resentment,
anger, and disdain for anyone of an opinion or view other than his. He
acts in the most hateful, spiteful, malevolent, vindictive ways in order
to manipulate and maintain power and control over others. Perhaps,
because, as a child, he grew up harboring an abiding bitterness toward
the U.S. that was instilled in him by his family and mentors...it seems to
have never left him.

It is not the color of his skin that is a problem in America .Rather it
is the blackness that fills his soul and the hollowness in his heart
where there should be abiding pride and love for this country.

Think: Have we ever heard Obama speak lovingly of the U.S. or its
people, with deep appreciation and genuine respect for our history, our
customs, our sufferings and our blessings? Has he ever revealed that,
like most patriotic Americans, he gets "goose bumps" when a band plays
"The Star Spangled Banner," or sheds a tear when he hears a beautiful
rendition of "America the Beautiful?" Does his heart burst with pride
when millions of American flags wave on a National holiday - or someone
plays "taps" on a trumpet? Has he ever shared the admiration of the
military, as we as lovers of those who keep us free, feel when soldiers
march by? It is doubtful because Obama did not grow up sharing our
experiences or our values. He did not sit at the knee of a Grandfather
or Uncle who showed us his medals and told us about the bravery of his
fellow troops as they tramped through foreign lands to keep us free. He
didn't have grandparents who told stories of suffering and then coming
to America, penniless, and the opportunities they had for building a
business and life for their children.

Away from this country as a young child, Obama didn't delight in being
part of America and its greatness. He wasn't singing our patriotic songs
in kindergarten, or standing on the roadside for a holiday parade and
eating a hot dog, or lighting sparklers around a campfire on July 4th as
fireworks exploded over head, or placing flags on the grave sites of
fallen and beloved American heroes.
Rather he was separated from all of these experiences and doesn't really
understand us and what it means to be an American. He is void of the
basic emotions that most feel regarding this country and insensitive to
the instinctive pride we have in our national heritage. His opinions
were formed by those who either envied us or wanted him to devalue the
United States and the traditions and patriotism that unites us.
He has never given a speech that is filled with calm, reassuring,
complimentary, heartfelt statements about all the people in the U.S. Or
one that inspires us to be better and grateful and proud that in a short
time our country became a leader, and a protector of many. Quite the
contrary, his speeches always degenerate into mocking, ridiculing
tirades as he faults our achievements as well as any critics or
opposition for the sake of a laugh, or to bolster his ego. He uses his
Office to threaten and create fear while demeaning and degrading any
American who opposes his policies and actions. A secure leader, who has
noble self-esteem and not false confidence, refrains from showing such
dread of critics and displaying a cocky, haughty attitude.

   
  Mostly, his time seems to be spent causing dissension, unrest, and
anxiety among the people of America, rather than uniting us (even though
he was presented to us as the "Great Uniter"). He creates chaos for the
sake of keeping people separated, envious, aggrieved and ready to argue.
Under his leadership Americans have been kept on edge, rather than in a
state of comfort and security. He incites people to be aggressive
toward, and disrespectful of, those of differing opinions. And through
such behavior, Obama has lowered the standards for self-control and
mature restraint to the level of street-fighting gangs, when he should
be raising the bar for people to strive toward becoming more
considerate, tolerant, self-disciplined, self-sustaining, and
self-assured.

  Not a day goes by that he is not attempting to defy our laws, remove
our rights, over-ride established procedures, install controversial
appointees, enact divisive mandates,
  and assert a dictatorial form of power.

· Never has there been a leader of this great land who used such tactics
to harm and hurt the people and this country.
· Never have we had a President who spoke with a caustic, evil tongue
against the citizenry rather than present himself as a soothing, calming
and trustworthy force.
· Never, in this country, have we experienced how much stress one man
can cause a nation of people - on a daily basis!
  Obama has promoted the degeneration of peace, civility, and quality of
cooperation between us. He thrives on tearing us down, rather than
building us up. He is the Architect of the decline of America , and the
epitome of a Demagogue.

And half of the country couldn't wait to vote for him. 

Just goes to show ya their mental state.  Remember, he told them to vote for revenge......and they did. 

Half of the country voted to extract revenge on the other half......and their getting what they voted for. 

I fear the country is forever divided.

I believe this lady has hit the proverbial nail right square on the head. I've stated this before and I will state it yet again-if I was of an age to go to war-I would NOT go to war for this present potus. The lady-Maureen Scott-has said it way more eloquently than I could ever hope to say it.  RIDE SAFE.

Very insightful lady.  Describes Obama to a T.

There is those bosses, not good ones, that lead/rule by dissension.  Pitting all those under him against each other.  Had a boss that way once, he didn't last long.  Real beauty.  BO reminds me of that boss.  Unable to get anything done.

...he didn't last long.   BO reminds me of that boss. 

Unfortunately he's lasting too long!

We can keep our fingers crossed though!
